FIREARMS PROBLEM.

November 17, 1986

POINT EDWARD, ONTARIO — FIREARMS PROBLEM. Saturday night specials, expensive pearl-handled revolvers, shotguns and rifles were stacked on the table. All were confiscated this year from Americans who crossed into Canada across the Blue Water Bridge. Visitors ''can make life very, very difficult for themselves by insisting on carrying guns into Canada,'' said Robert Skinner of Canada Customs. Fines for carrying a concealed weapon range from $50 to $750. Seized weapons are not returned. They are sent to Ottawa and destroyed. Visitors can declare a firearm, surrender it and have it returned when they leave the country, Skinner said.
